CE Marking According to the regulation, the "CE" mark is defined as a symbol indicating that the product complies with all relevant requirements of the technical legislation that mandates the affixing of the CE marking. For products to be sold in European Union (EU) member countries, carrying the CE mark is a legal requirement if the product falls under one or more EU directives. The "CE" mark consists of the initials of the words "European Conformity".

All processes related to CE certification must be completed before the product is placed on the market. Companies that qualify to use the mark after conformity assessment activities must affix the CE marking to their products, as defined within each directive by the manufacturer.
